Some impressive stuff was indeed accomplished. The major negative of course was that the speed of many games, particularly the action games, was crushingly slow, especially in comparison to many of the other contemporary platforms. Fortunately, a lot of the gaming issues were rectified with the CoCo 3, although it was unfortunate it never did receive a dedicated sound hardware upgrade to go along with the other improvements.
